Greasing the front spindle?

Sounds a good idea Chris. Perhaps I should put the tin of copperslip on the back shelf!

+1 to above. i use the same stuff. the only place i dont use it is on calliper seals.

I have used coppaslip for donkeys years on the front & rear spindle. I do about 12000 miles a years & have never had a problem with bearings.
I only put a light smear on the spindles. I was once told too much of a good thing doesn't make it a better one.

I used some multi purpose Castrol grease I found in the garage... I think that pot of grease is older than me but it is still clean so in it goes.
